Mike’s Christianity 101

Psalm 103:12 As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our wrongdoings from us NASB 2020 How many times have we sinned, or screwed up at work, or made your spouse or family angry and didn’t want anyone to find out about it, because you just knew that they would NEVER let you live it down? hate to be the bearer of bad news, but we all have done that. It a flesh reaction with emotional components. Say you spend too much money, or have an argument with your sons, or your wife, or make a coworker jealous because you get promoted over them, and they get mad at you. Any sin is an offense against God, and separates us from Him. However: we have confidence in Jesus knowing that if we confess our sins, and we know He is faithful and just to forgive us, also is the hope in the verse above that when we are forgiven and cleansed; our sins are gone from God’s memory FOREVER!!! GONE, DONE, never to be brought up again, unlike we humans who remember things from the past in order to whip others with that offense in order to keep us in line, or subservient in order to tow the line. I have experienced this in my life by family members or friends who I have offended, apologized, and sought forgiveness, they accept the apology, however in the heat of passion its amazing how old offenses come back to bite you. We as Christians can rest in the promise of God’s word that our sins are gone forever through the blood and sacrifice of Jesus for us. Grab a hold of this promise today as hope and peace for you!!
